To solve the problem \( \frac{6 \times 10^8}{3 \times 10^4} \), we will divide both the coefficients and the powers of 10.

### Step 1: Divide the coefficients
\[
\frac{6}{3} = 2
\]

### Step 2: Subtract the exponents (using the property of exponents \( \frac{10^a}{10^b} = 10^{a-b} \)):
\[
10^8 \div 10^4 = 10^{8-4} = 10^4
\]

### Final Answer:
\[
2 \times 10^4
\]

So, the answer is \( 2 \times 10^4 \) in scientific notation.
